Minna Goldsmith Mahler, a founder of Delta Phi Epsilon, wrote this to celebrate the 50th Anniversary in 1967.
"I appreciate the opportunity to join with you in marking the 50th Anniversary of Delta Phi Epsilon. It is a privilege given to us, the founders of this sorority, to watch its growth and development and see our principles extend unto generations to come.
All of us have a continuous responsibility long after the 50th year to face problems which will always be with us. Although we are united by the principles of our charter we are not characterized by sameness, but by human diversity which is healthful. Resolving the tensions of ordinary living, working together with each other, and with our neighbors of differing opinions; working towards a system where men and nations can ultimately live together in peace on this troubled planet, needs intelligent understanding and enlightenment.
This seed of enlightened understanding is implanted in our formative years at school and it grows and flourishes in sorority relationship. I am proud to have witnessed the vitality of the life-tree of Delta Phi Epsilon, which has spread its many strong branches and will continue to be a dynamic force through the dedication of our sorors, and an influence for the betterment of mankind through its teachings."
